hi there
I have another "zope theory" question. I am working on designing a
application in zope. I've been looking at a lot of examples and I am
wondering how people are implementing different types of
relationships between different persistent objects.
For instance I am going to be doing a lot with addresses. Naturally
it would be nice to have persistent Address class. Then I would say
that a Person has an Address and a Company has an Address.
My two different ideas are as follows:
1. Make Person and and Company containers that can each contain an
Address. I don't really like this idea because it seems like
container objects are for things like folders. This could be the
best way though and I'm just not zoppie enough yet.
2. Add an Object for the Address to the schema for IPerson and
ICompany (assuming I only need one address) or a List / Dict (if I
want more than one address for each person or company). I like this
idea better but I have yet to see any examples where someone does
that which is making me a little nervous. Among other things I'd
like to be able to see what happens when "addform"s and "editform"s
get generated for things like this or at least be assured that's the
way it is supposed to work.
I just got my very own copies of the "Zope 3 Developers Handbook" and
"Web Component Development with Zope 3" (I'd suggest these books to
anyone by the way). I have given each a once over as well as looking
at lots of shorter tutorials / examples online and have not noticed
any example projects doing anything like my second idea.
So in your answer please feel free to point out something in either
of those books (I may have missed) or refer me to some other online
example where something like this is going on.
thanks
